July 5th symphony offers an interlude By Pat Hill

Members of Woodland Park Boy Scout Troop 43 Color Guard wait to open the 2013 Teller County Relay for Life on June 14 at the Colorado Springs Christian School, Woodland Park campus.
Demonstrating that cancer never sleeps, Teller County Relay for Life participating teams keep at least one team member walking around the indoor track at Colorado Springs Christian School in Woodland Park during each hour of the 12-hour event. Relay was started by the American Cancer Society in 1985 to raise funds and awareness for cancer research and outreach programs. The Teller County Relay has moved around the calendar for several years in search of good weather until about four years ago when it was moved indoors. According to event chair Stacy Schubloom, this year the date was set for June 14, hoping to avoid wildfire season. “It didn’t work,” she said, referring to the Black Forest Fire and several other major and minor fires that have been happening in Colorado during the month. Even though the event is over for another year, those who wish to donate to the cause can still do so at www.tellerrelay.org.
A Woodland Park tradition for 33 years, the “Symphony Above the Clouds” has a down-home touch along with the magnificent sounds of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic in a July 5th performance. With an annual guest conductor from the community, the symphony’s celebrity this year is Teller County Commission Chair Dave Paul. “It’s a great honor to be the guest conductor,” Paul said. Admittedly a novice at directing a professional orchestra, Paul will be granted one rehearsal before the big evening. However, Paul has one up on the new experience. “From my mother’s attempts to provide me with culture I do know how to read music,” he said. Perhaps a bit daunted by the challenge, Paul acknowledges a sense of gratitude for the musical selection. “I’m assured it’s going to be a march which should make any errors I make easy for the symphony to overcome,” he said. Paul is among the regulars who spend the evening listening to the annual event sponsored by the Ute Pass Symphony Guild. “This is a significant event for Woodland Park; it’s attended by 5,000 to 7,000 people, it’s patriotic and small-town,” said Woodland Park city manager David Buttery. “It’s just wonderful — families, generations, neighbors, friends, visitors enjoy the most beautiful music in a beautiful setting. Because there is no fee, businesses and individuals support the annual concert.” Woodland Park Mayor Dave Turley highlights the ritual aspect of the event. “The July 5th Symphony Above the Clouds brings together our entire community and out-oftown guests for a glorious event with good times, great music, great food and a great celebration of the birth of our nation,” he said. “The 1812 Overture, fireworks (hopefully), and the Fort Carson cannons conclude an evening of fun and remembrance!” For many residents and tourists, the celebration that honors America’s independence from England is two-day occasion. “The 4th is always a good time in Memorial Park while the Symphony Above the Clouds is icing-on-the-cake,” Turley said. “We all owe so much to the Ute Pass Symphony Guild for ensuring the success of this great event centered around the performances by the Colorado Springs Philharmonic. Everyone should come. Elevate your spirit and enjoy this great evening in the shadow of Pikes Peak.”

Fires raged but did not damage property in Teller County as of the morning of June 12. Sheriff Mike Ensminger was keeping close watch on developments. “We’ve sent two structural engines from Cripple Creek and Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District to Black Forest,” Ensminger said. For now, the county is within range of the Royal Gorge Fire in Canon City. “We’re not sending any more than 2 engines because we don’t want to decrease our resources,” the sheriff said. “If anything were to happen we want to be prepared. We’re pretty good at defending ourselves.”

El Paso County imposes Stage I fire restrictions Special to The Tribune Due to the strain on firefighting resources from current local and state-wide firefighting efforts, as well as hot and dry conditions which are expected to continue, El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa has imposed Stage I Fire Restrictions for unincorporated El Paso County effective immediately.
El Paso County Ordinance 02-2 governing Stage I Fire Restrictions states: “Open burning and outdoor fires are prohibited UNLESS done within permanently constructed fire grates in developed campgrounds and picnic grounds. “The use of wood burning stoves and charcoal grills at private residences in areas cleared of all flammable materials is ALLOWED.
Grass Fire on county roads at five acres By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com By 4 p.m. June 12, the grass fire at Teller County roads 12 and 121 was less than five acres, said Sgt. Marc Porcelli, public infor-
“The sale or use of fireworks is prohibited. “Outdoor smoking is only allowed IF done within an enclosed vehicle or building OR done in a developed recreation site OR while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is clear of all flammable materials.” Maketa insists everyone remain vigilant in their compliance with the restrictions as
our community faces challenging conditions which are likely to exist for an extended period. The tragedy in Black Forest and the ongoing recovery from the Waldo Canyon Fire are events which demonstrate the power and destruction of wildland fire. The sheriff’s office will exercise a zero tolerance policy for those persons who violate the restrictions.

s Stage I Fire Ban imposed in Teller
ondiend-By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com
e onn Fire Teller County is now under a Stage I Fire owerBan that restricts open burning. The ban went into effect at noon June 13. zero In a report to Teller County commiso vio-sioners, Steve Steed, director of the office of emergency management, offered somber news on the weather. With no rain in sight for at least 14 days from June 13, weather conditions, including high winds and high temperatures, present imminent fire danger to the county. While major fires burned in Black Forest and Canon City, Teller County had a five-acre grass fire June 12. The fire highlighted the dryness of the area. Local crews responded and extinguished the fire within a short time. The resolution bans open burning, prohibits the burning of materials not contained in an outdoor fireplace or permanent fire ring as well as the use of fireworks of any type. The entire document can be viewed at the county’s website at co.teller.co.us.

By Special to The Tribune As smoke from the Black Forest Fire and fires in surrounding areas continue to affect air quality in El Paso County, public health officials recommend people monitor air quality and if needed, take precautionary steps. El Paso County Public Health is advising people, especially young children, those who exercise outdoors, those involved in vigorous outdoor work and those who have respiratory disease (such as asthma) to reduce or limit strenuous outdoor physical activity. “If you can see or smell smoke it is a good indicator to reduce your exposure by going indoors,” said Jill Law, R.N., M.H.A. and Public Health Director. “If visibility is decreased in your neighborhood to less than five miles, smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy.” The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has issued a wildfire smoke health advisory for the Black Forest Fire.

Florissant man dies in accident By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com John Clark, 43, of Florissant, was killed in a three-car accident in the morning of June 9. Clark, who was driving a 1998 Ford on the westbound side of U.S. 24 about six miles west of Divide, crossed into the eastbound lanes and failed to negotiate a curve. He hit a 2001 Dodge Ram pulling a horse trailer; the Dodge rolled and came to rest on its side while the trailer hitch broke and the trailer remained on its wheels. Clark continued driving but the Ford started to rotate counter-clockwise, colliding head-on with a 2007 Toyota Sienna. The driver, Robert Varnum, 69, of Colo-
rado Springs, drove off to the right side of the road to avoid the crash. Clark, who was wearing his seatbelt, died on the scene as a result of his injuries. Phillip and Sharon Olson, 75 and 64, respectively, of Como were in the Dodge and transported to Penrose Main hospital in Colorado Springs. Both received minor injuries. Varnum and his wife, Mary Varnum, 70, were transported to Memorial Hospital. He received minor injuries while she sustained moderate injuries. The accident remains under investigation by the Colorado State Patrol which provided the information about the accident.

phill@ourcoloradonews.com The Ute Pass Lions Club is singing the praises of Cole Brown, a 2013 graduate of Woodland Park High School. Brown just won the state competition in the speech contest sponsored by the Lions Clubs of Colorado. But he started right here in Woodland Park when he won the contest sponsored by the local Lions. Responding to the topic, “What Opportunities do Young People Need to be Successful in the Future?” Brown talked about the importance of initiative and how to develop that quality. For the local contest, Brown won $100. From Woodland Park, Brown advanced to the regionals, winning $125 for his speech, and then took the state contest, where he won $500. He plans to use the prize money for college in the fall.

Funds to be released for mitigation Commissioners deny Florissant board applicants By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com
As the Black Forest Fire continued its destructive path June 13, a report from Teller County commissioner Marc Dettenrieder seemed eerily appropriate. “The federal Farm Bill has an amendment that will classify wildfires as disasters, the same as tornadoes and hurricanes,” Dettenrieder said. On a positive note, funds for the Wildfire Risk Reduction Program, a result of SB 289, should be available in July, he added. “This is $9.8 million available for pre-fire mitigation efforts on state and private lands in Colorado,” Dettenrieder said. “This program focuses on large-scale fuel-reduction efforts.” As of early May, the U.S. Forest Service has treated 3,200 acres in the Waldo Canyon burn area, applying strong mulch and wood-tread to reduce the risk of mud slides, Dettenrieder said. Along with worries about fire and flood, Teller County residents face an increase in their electric rates as a result of SB 252, which mandates that cooperatives such as IREA increase their renewable-energy sources to 20 percent. Commissioner Norm Steen is part of the opposition. “At Western Interstate Region Conference I started work on a resolution, eventually approved by the state of Colorado, opposing mandates for renewable energy,” Steen said. “Renewable energy is not a bad thing but my feeling is that, when you direct things that are not economic in nature, they result in higher rates for agricultural users.” The resolution opposing mandates is m atexpected to go to the national level, Steen said. telli- In other news, Steen reported that Fort ech,”Carson contributes $2.2 billion to the local eecheconomy. “I want to make sure that Teller nera-County understands the needs of our milia.” tary community and supports our military,” he said. “There are things we can do economically but also to help our soldiers who are just coming back from wars overseas.” On the issue of Temporary Aid to Needy Families, TANF, Steen was elected co-chair

of the works-allocation committee at the state level. The committee determines the formula for distribution of the funds. “The purpose of TANF is to provide funds on a limited basis so that people can move off welfare and become independent,” he said. “I’ll be very much engaged in that process.” As chairman of the go-go board of commissioners, Dave Paul was elected vicechair of the mountain communities committee for Colorado Counties, Inc. Later in the meeting, the commissioners denied a request by four applicants to be appointed to the board of directors for the Florissant Water & Sanitation District. The four are acting as the current board; however, because the district bypassed the past four elections, the board is not legitimate, said county administrator, Sheryl Decker. “I have talked with the state; it is my recommendation, and the state does concur, that we not appoint anybody but step up the efforts to get qualified people to create a legitimate board,” she said. According to a legal notice in the June 12 edition of the Courier, the district has scheduled a public hearing on a treatment and distribution plan at 6 p.m. July 5 at the district offices in Florissant.

opinions / yours and ours
Once again, thank you for answering the call On Father’s Day, I couldn’t help but think about my dad’s service in the volunteer fire department for many years. Many fathers and mothers, paid and volunteer, have always made sacrafices for us, sometimes in spite of their own predicaments. Cetrainly, though I know it not an adequate response, our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost so much in this recent tragedy. All the time I was growing up in a small town in southwestern Colorado, a strange, faceless phone with no dialing mechanism hung right on my dad’s side of my parent’s bedroom. I think there might have been as many as eight of them (exactly alike) hanging in various locations (homes and businesses) around the small town of 800 residents. All of them were the property of the local volunteer fire department. Whether it be night or day, the loud, unremitting, urgent ring would sound con-
tinuously at the breakout of a fire -- until someone picked up and answered the call. If the call was judged not to be a prank, or false alarm, then the lever on the black box next to the phone was shoved over, all the way to the right, and the fire siren down at the town hall would begin its mournful summons of the 25 or 30 volunteer firefighters in the area. Later, of course, heavy, boxlike pagers were worn on volunteers’ belts and the siren (that also served as the noon whistle,
Epigenetics: Loading gun and pulling the trigger Darwin and Freud walk into a bar. Two alcoholic mice, a mother and her son, are sitting on bar stools lapping gin from two thimbles. The mother mouse looks up and says, “Hey geniuses tell me how my son got to be such a drunk.” “Bad genes,” says Darwin. “Bad mothering,” says Freud. For generations, the debate of nature versus nurture has offered opposing views of how personalities, behaviors and disease processes develop. New research, however, suggests that people’s experiences, not just their genes, are a major player in what genes get expressed both for themselves and their offspring. THE WEEK, an online magazine at http://theweek.com/, reports that researchers in the relatively new science of “epigenetics,” are exploring how nature and nurture combine to cause behavior, personality traits and illnesses that genes alone can’t explain ranging from sexual orientation to autism to cancer. The word epigenetics means “on top of genetics” and is the study of how individual genes can be activated or deactivated by life experiences. Each one of our cells carries a DNA blueprint but whether or not that roadmap is expressed is controlled by epigenetic “tags” that block developing fetal cells from following any genetic instructions that don’t pertain to their intended role. Researchers have discovered that this biochemical process occurs not just during time in womb, as once thought, but throughout adulthood, switching genes on and off and altering our mental and physical health. For instance, women whose prenatal diet was low in folic acid, B-12 and other nutrients gave birth to infants predisposed to asthma and spinal cord defects. Young children who are abused are more likely to have epigenetic changes
because it was necessary to test each day), became obsolete. I am not sure what they use today in that town. The volunteers serving on that department – all by choice – and all continuing to work their regular jobs or at businesses to pay the bills and feed their families, would drop everything when the siren wailed. I considered that carefully again this week, as we continued to evaluate how fortunate we are, and what a debt we owe, regarding firefighter’s response and effectiveness when called to serve. When everyone else is running out, they are unselfishly, and usually anonymously, running in. As Fred Rogers noted, “Look for the helpers.” Of course, this week we are lining the roads, making signs and remembering (quite correctly so,) to mark the firefighters recent efforts. Wouldn’t it also be appropriate to also recall the locals, and on a regular basis, the

that make coping with stress more difficult and twins may inherit the gene that predisposes them to cancer but only one will develop the disease due to differences in lifestyle habits. There is growing evidence that the passing on of both positive and negative health and personality traits may also be multigenerational with the lifetime of what men and women eat and smoke and what traumas and toxins they are exposed to being passed on not only to their children but to their grandchildren and possibly beyond. David Crews, a University of Texas zoologist, has done multigenerational studies on rats and speculates that the obesity epidemic and skyrocketing autism rates could be an expression of our grandparents exposure to plastics, fertilizers, detergents and pesticides. Sound far fetched? In one famous epigenetics experiment, researchers fed a gene-altering diet to pregnant female mice that carried a gene that made them fat, yellow and prone to cancer and diabetes. Although the offspring of the mice carried the same gene, they were born slim, brown and disease free. Some twenty years ago, I sat in a nutrition workshop with renowned Sports Nutritionist Nancy Clark. The topic was the role of genetics in determining who did and didn’t become obese. Clark made a comment I never forgot, when she said, “Genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger.”
In the past several months, the DDA has been involved in a number of development projects. In August 2012, the DDA entered into an agreement with Woodland Hardware for expansion and relocation into the Woodland Station (former Saddle Club) property. This project is underway and hopes to open its doors in January 2014. Along with this project, the DDA entered into an agreement with Colorado Structures, Inc. to complete the infrastructure to support the Woodland Hardware project. This will include streets, parking and associated public improvements. In May 2012 the DDA entered into an agreement to support the development of Family Dollar and O’Reilly Auto Parts. Both are now open for business. Along with the retail projects, the DDA supported a drainage solution which will now make this location conducive to development. The drainage project won an award from the APWA (American Public Works Association) for Project of the Year. The DDA is participating with Gold Hill Theatres to expand and improve their facility to include four theatres. The hope is that the expansion will keep people in Woodland Park for entertainment. In March of 2013, the DDA entered into an agreement with Woodland Park Beer Garden, LLC. This project is in its beginning stages. The DDA is also working on

Letter to the editor Social media
Dear Editor, In the board meeting June 4, I was saddened by the decision our board made in regard to social media. The decision was nothing less than an attack on our 1st Amendment Rights. It was very clear — while it was only subtlety admitted — the purpose of our new social media policy in Green Mountain Falls is to take aim at my ability to communicate with our citizens through my personal blog and Facebook. I was even asked to take the term “mayor” off my blog because it links me to the town. That’s kind of like not allowing a pilot to say “I’m a pilot” and forcing them to say “I’m not a pilot but I do fly airplanes.” In all seriousness, it saddens me that those I serve with on the board of trustees would take it upon themselves to pass a policy that attempts to restrict not only my but even their ability to communicate with
the citizens that elected them. Worse — it seems that disagreeing has become a form of slander. A few trustees accused me of slander, lies, and half-truths when in fact I only dared to express my opinion. So here is what I challenge you, the reader, to do. Check the facts. Go to my blog (http:// gmfmayorscorner.blogspot.com/) and read from the first post to the last. I think you will find that no such slander has occurred. Then go to the mayor’s (now Lorrie Worthey-Citizen) group on Facebook and do the same. I think you will find a similar result — no slander. If you find anywhere where I am guilty of these accusations, please let me know. I will apologize. In the meantime, I will continue to work for the people who elected me. I will not cheapen the Constitution by allowing myself to be silenced. Lorrie Worthey Mayor, Green Mountain Falls

Or perhaps Oregon wildland firefighters: Zach Zigich, Retah Shirley, Jacob Martindale, Danial Rama, and Bart Bailey? After all, it might be night or day, and they may have to drop what they are doing to hear our urgent ring. Much like that faceless phone of my youth, we might forget about them for the most part, and never remember their names, or what kind of sacrifices they may have to make.

Inspired by the enthusiastic reception by the audience at the Tweeds Musical Tapestry, four of the musicians have gone further and launched the Ute Pass Chamber Players, which debuts June 20 at the Woodland Park Senior Citizens Center.

Chamber Players launch season By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com Drawing on a rich vein of professional musicians in Teller County, the Ute Pass Chamber Players make their debut June 20 during High Tea at the Woodland Park Senior Center. “It was the dream of Clark and Sally Ann Wilson to start a chamber orchestra,” said Barbara Riley-Cunningham, the orchestra’s pianist. The Wilsons, both graduates of Juilliard School of Music, are on the faculty of Pikes Peak Community College. In addition to the pianist and the Wilsons, Sally on the French Horn, Clark on the bassoon, the orchestra’s fourth regular is Guy Dutra-Silveira, principal oboe with the Colorado Springs Symphony. Ideal for a small community, the chamber orchestra performs in intimate settings. “There is a special connection not only among the musicians but with the audience as well,” Riley-Cunningham said. With guest musicians throughout the 2013-2014 season, the chamber players offer versatile programs and music from different time periods. To introduce the orchestra, the chamber players will host a free “sneak preview” concert at 2 p.m. June 30 at the library, with
selections from the upcoming season. The first full concert of the series is schedule for 3 p.m. Sept. 8 at High View Baptist Church. Musical selections planned are from Arnold, Beethoven, Devienne, Gould and Rachmaninoff. Culturally and musically diverse, the October concert features pieces by Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona, who will be introduced by Armando Ferrer, president of the Miami Dade College Medical Center Campus. “Armando will speak on the significance of the music from a Cuban-American perspective,” Riley-Cunningham said. The Oct. 27 concert is a benefit for the Woodland Park Senior Citizens’ Club. The chamber players were energized by the reception they received at Tweeds Musical Tapestry over the past few summers. While the concerts were voluntary, the players are today more organized and dedicated to providing chamber music for Teller County and Ute Pass audiences. The concerts are informal and are at 3 p.m. Sept. 8, Oct. 27, Feb. 9 and June 29 at High View Baptist Church. As well, the musicians are available to play at various events or as music educators for area schools. Tickets for the Sneak Peak performance June 30 by calling 687-8585 or 686-1798.

San Francisco Javier Chapel dedicated El Tesoro de los Aneles Retreat Center enhanced By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com Stunning in its simplicity yet majestic in symbolism, the new San Francisco Javier Chapel at
El Tesoro de los Angeles Retreat Center is designed to be a place of solitude and contemplative prayer. “The chapel is carved out of the forest, the building set more
organically on a beautiful site,” said Vince Colarelli, general contractor with Colarelli Construction which built the chapel. “The design is based on the old ambulatory-pedestrian chapel, with connecting pathways and a private grotto. The stained glass changes colors on the outside.” The chapel is yet another project of El Tesoro founder Mary Guenzel, who with her family attended the dedication ceremony June 6 in a Mass said by Bishop Michael Sheridan and the Rev. David Price June 6. On the wall behind the altar is a cross of leaded gold-leaf stained glass, which casts alternating colors, from sunlight gold to purple on the interior. On the outside of the chapel, the cross is green. “The cross is a metaphor for faith,” Colarelli said. “The glass is dynamic; it feels like life.” The altar is marble as well as the sculpture of the Last Supper is of white Carrara marble. Along the side walls of the chapel are stained-glass replicas of the Stations of the Cross. “We
The chapel at El Tesoro, dedicated in a Mass by Bishop Michael Sheridan, is the result of Mary Guenzel’s commitment to establishing a place for spiritual growth.
The San Francisco Javier Chapel at El Tesoro was recently completed by general contractor Vince Colarelli. Mary Guenzel founded the retreat center and continues to enhance the center’s spiritual ambience. built the chapel to offer an experience of the Way of the Cross, a strong iconic image handed down through generations,” Colarelli said. “This is about personal reflection.” The Stations can also be viewed from the outside of the chapel during the afternoon hours. San Francisco Javier, St. Francis Xavier, was the first priest to
join with Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. For Mary Cathryn Haller, executive director of El Tesoro, the chapel sparks spirituality. “I like it because it’s simple. And it’s in the forest and a mission-style church,” she said. “It’s got a nice path around it so you’re getting into a prayful stage. You know you’re approaching something very special.”

Melodrama premieres on Butte stage June 28 Special to the Courier Thin Air Theatre Company is bringing the all-new Western melodrama The Girl of the Golden West to the historic Butte Theater in Cripple Creek. Originally written in 1905, David Belasco’s script is an actionpacked tale of love between a trusting barmaid and a wanted highwayman. This classic piece of American melodrama was so popular that over the years it spawned four movie adaptations, a novelization (also written by Belasco,) numerous stage revivals, and is probably best known as the source material for Puccini’s opera La Fanciulla del West. For its Cripple Creek premiere, the play has been adapted to include a healthy dose of comedy, local character, and gold rush history. In true Cripple Creek style, this family-friendly melodrama will be followed by an all-new Olio. The Girl of the Golden

Artistry recognized by Mountain Artists By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com Recognized by the Mountain Artists with scholarships, Gabrielle Ruddick and David Yarger have received a financial and supportive boost from their hometown arts organization. Ruddick, who graduated last month from Woodland Park High School, is headed to the Art Institute of Colorado in Denver. With $2,000 from the organization, Ruddick has a financial plan in place, establishing a pay-as-yougo system as a head start to fund her education. For the contest, Ruddick submitted varieties of her work, one a Zentangle portrait in acrylic with a splash of watercolor as well as a wax-and-dye Indian batik and several photographs of landscapes and still lifes. A high-school star in track and field, Ruddick is changing direction from athletics to the arts. Aware of the financial repercussions of giving up a probable athletic scholarship, Ruddick is following her dream. “I really want
A U C T I O N
to pursue photography,” she said. “My parents support me in my decisions and my passions.” As a future professional photographer, Ruddick has her eye on the wide open spaces in distanct lands. “I want to travel and get a job with ‘National Geographic’ or another magazine,” she said. “When I’m ready to settle down I’ll come back here.” For her high school years, Ruddick honed her artistic talent with the guidance of the art teacher, Stacia Ray.
David Yarger
The Mountain Artists made an exception in awarding a second scholarship, this one $1,000, to a former winner. “We could not overlook David’s growth as an artist,” said Maggie Hunt, spokesperson for the nonprofit organization. “He has catapulted to a whole new level.” Recognized locally for his work with the Shanika Fine Art Studio, Yarger has scooped up several accomplishments over the years, including an exhibit at the Eichman Gallery at Park State Bank & Trust.
He has shown his work at the Hunter-Wolff Gallery in Colorado Springs and attended the Susan K. Black Foundation annual workshop in Dubois, Wy. He plans to return to the workshop this summer. “One of my goals is to redefine my aesthetic work, experimenting with the various stylistic qualities of my work that make it special and unique, to make it even more distinctive, heartfelt and instantly recognizable as a ‘David P.Yarger’ piece,” he said. Yarger plans to spend the scholarship money to continue funding his artistic education and development. “In awarding the scholarships, we want to encourage young people to study the visual arts,” Hunt said.
Gabrielle Ruddick won a $2,000 scholarship from the Mountain Artists Association on the strength of her work, in addition to an essay. This one is titled “Zentangle,” a work in acrylic with a splash of watercolor. Courtesy photo

Hill Climb is a family affair for the Vahsholtzs Clint Vahsholtz is aiming for his 20th victory in the June 30 event By Danny Summers WOODLAND PARK – What does the most successful driver in Pikes Peak International Hill Climb history do for a change of pace? In Clint Vahsholtz’s case, the answer is to change divisions, build a new car and focus on speed, speed and more speed. In 2012, Vahsholtz, 42, became the all-time winningest driver in Hill Climb annals when he won the Super Stock Division. His 19 victories (16 in an automobile and three on a motorcycle) broke a tie with his legendary father, Leonard – who just happens to be Vahsholtz’s chief mechanic and owner of his car. “They eliminated the Super Stock division this year, so we had to find a new division to go to,” said Leonard, whose Hill Climb career dates to the 1970s. “They only pay four divisions, so I sure the (heck) wasn’t going to go to a division that doesn’t pay money. I don’t run for trophies. I run for money.” The divisions receiving prize money for the June 30 race are Time Attack, Electric, Unlimited and Open Wheel. Leonard – also known as “Pappy” – and Clint took the chasse from their 2006 Ford Mustang and built an Open Wheel car around it. The front-wheel drive vehicle resembles a dune buggy and will have a 900-horsepower engine on race day and – if all according to plans – will be the fastest vehicle father or son have ever raced to the top of the 14,110foot summit. Leonard noted that a frontwheel drive car has not won the Open Wheel division in 30 years. “I wouldn’t go to Pikes Peak in a 40-horsepower Volkswagen engine in the Open Class,” Leonard said with a chuckle. “We feel we can go at least 30 seconds faster (than in the past).” Clint believes the car could go up to a minute faster than when

Leonard owns the car (Open Wheel 2013) that Clint will be driving in the June 30 event. Photo by Danny Summers he set the Super Stock all-time mark of 10:55 in 2011. “Right now we’re running about 20 seconds quicker than our stock car,” Clint said. “I think we can get faster with a more efficient motor, a decent tire package and balancing the car with wings.” Neither Vahsholtz wanted to leave Super Stock. But there weren’t enough entries in the division so race organizers eliminated it this year. Moving up to one of the other three paying divisions didn’t make sense due to the extreme costs. “Our car, with everything in it, might be around $50,000,” Clint said. “Those guys in Unlimited are running half million dollar cars. Some of those guys are spending upwards of $6 million to race. We can’t compete with that.”
Still, it costs the Vahsholtz’s about $10,000 to run their car in June; building and rebuilding the car, new engines and tires, practice runs and other incidentals – like buying your crew lunch. “We have four guys, so that’s $50 every time we have lunch,” Clint said. The Vahsholtz’s operation is a family and friends affair. Joe Lyons is the crew chief. He is aided by Pat Davis and Frank Fucciano. Also lending a helping hand are George Censner and Jake Censner. Barbara Vahsholtz, Leonard’s wife and matriarch of the family, deals primarily with finances, as well as timing. Shelly Vahsholtz (Clint’s wife) and Carli Vahsholtz (Clint’s daughter) do most of the timing. “It’s all coming together,” Ly-
ons said. “The car can still run way better. We’re pretty close. If we can get the motor issue figured out I think we’ll be there.” On June 15, Clint tested the car on Pikes Peak and blew out an engine. But he was pleased with how it performed.” Clint’s son, Codie, 22, will be racing in the Hill Climb for a third time in the 250cc motorcycle division. Codie finished third in 2011 and 2012. “We have a lot of our problems figured out now,” said Codie, who will be aboard a 1996 Kawasaki KX. “I feel more dialed in. More focused. More confident.” Codie is running great in practice, about nine seconds faster than last year’s 250cc champion – Jason Archuleta of Colorado
Springs. A victory by either Clint or Codie would catapult the Vahsholtz family into elite status. A 38th win would tie them with the legendary Unser family – who had numerous family members compete in 113 races over 70 years. “I don’t really think about that a whole lot,” Clint said. “We’ll go out on race day see what happens.” With a little more than a week until the 91st running of the Hill Climb, drivers from around the world are putting the final touches on their cars and motorcycles. Clint’s car had numbers and letting added last week. He again has Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Company as his primary sponsor. The Race to the Clouds has reached true international status in recent years. This year’s event includes drivers from Japan, Latvia, France, Sweden, Canada, Brazil, Great Britain, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Italy, Scotland, Poland, Korea and New Zealand. The field will include 91 autos and 71 motorcycles for 162 competitors who want to challenge America’s Mountain. The loaded unlimited automobile division features the two drivers – French star Romain Dumas and veteran Rhys Millen – who took turns in breaking the all-time course record during last year’s race. Millen set the course record of 9:46.164 in winning the Time Attack division, and Dumas broke the old mark a bit earlier in the race by clocking 9:46.181 in winning the Pikes Peak Open division. Both drivers moved to Unlimited this year, setting up a classic showdown in the same field. “I guarantee we will see low 9s and high 8s if guys have a perfect run,” Clint said. “It’s a big feat to run the mountain. There’s nothing like it. There’s a world record to be set. To be the man that does it is a real honor.”
Pederson loves spreading hockey cheer By Danny Summers MONUMENT – Al Pederson spent the early part of last week preparing for the possible evacuation of his home due to the massive Black Forest Fire. But that didn’t stop the former National Hockey League defenseman from keeping up with his job as the ice rink director for the Colorado Sports Center. “We remained open for business,” Pederson said. “People want to skate and we’re here to serve them.” Colorado Sports Center is west of Interstate 25 – just outside the evacuation area where the Black Forest Fire destroyed more than 400 homes and charred around 20,000 acres as temperatures soared into the 90s. Pederson kept a cool head as he prepared for a bust wee on the ice. “We try and create a family atmosphere here,” Pederson said as he laced up his skates and hit the ice to teach a beginner’s hockey class to five-year olds. “Everybody gets to know each other. We respect each other. Everyone works to-
gether. Pederson is at the rink just about every day, organizing and running leagues for adults and youths. Since ice was installed at the center in 2006, thousands of adults and youths have skated in leagues or taken part in skills camps. “We were hoping the games would be on today,” said Jocelyne Taylor, a Rockrimmon resident whose 14-year-old son, Jared, played in a game at the Center on June 15. “We needed this with everything that’s been going on this week.” Hailey Moriarty of Falcon had to take a roundabout way to reach the Center for her son’s game on June 14. But six-yearold Chase – who likes to be called “Crusher” – was happy that he was able to skate. “We texted Al just to be sure we were still on for today,” Hailey said. “It’s good to get out and do our normal routines.” Pederson, 48, played eight seasons with the Boston Bruins, Minnesota North Stars (now Dallas Stars) and Hartford Whalers

Pederson runs hockey leagues for adults and kids, and also spends much of his time teaching the game to younger players. Photo by Danny Summers (now Carolina Hurricanes). Nicknamed “Beach,” Pederson retired as a player in 1995 and began a coaching career. He arrived in Colorado Springs in 2001 to take over as coach and general manager of the minor league Colorado Gold Kings, who played in the west Coast Hockey League. The Gold Kings folded after the 2002 season, but Pederson decided to remain in Colorado Springs.
His wife was originally from the Widefield area and the couple had a young son. “The life of a coach is tough,” Pederson said. “You do a lot of moving. That’s tough on a family. I made a family decision to stay here.” Pederson took a job at Soc ‘n Roll (the former name of Colorado Sports Center) in late 2002 and was the director of the InLine hockey camps. When ice was put
down in 2006 he was the obvious choice to become ice rink director. “He’s really cool,” said 15-year-old Vincent Munchmore, who has played under Pederson’s directions for several years. “He’s fun to be around. He’s really nice.” As a player, Pederson was a no-nonsense defenseman. He scored just five goals in his NHL career and holds the record for having played the most consecutive games without a goal. He played in 64 playoff games for the Bruins, including Stanley Cup Finals in 1988 and 1990. He was paired on defense with Hall of Famer Ray Bourque (also of Colorado Avalanche fame). While Boston never won a Stanley Cup during his days, the Bruins did finally manage to win the Cup in 2011 – breaking a 39-year drought for the organization. The Bruins are back in the Stanley Cup Finals this year and are tied game one game apiece with the Chicago Blackhawks as of June 16. Pederson remains in
contact with many of his old teammates, including Bourque. But as much as enjoys talking about the old days, Pederson would much rather focus on what he does at the Sports Center. “I’m passionate about working with adult leagues and getting kids involved in the sport,” Pederson said. “We’re constantly getting a lot of new players. We have players from 3 to 70. As soon as they’re out of diapers I’m out recruiting. “It’s great to teach them the right away, and teach life lessons along the way.” Pederson has set up “Donation Stable” – a sort of Goodwill for players in need of equipment. “Coach Al was real helpful in teaching me to play hockey,” said Timothy Marsico, 12 of Red Rocks Ranch. “He has a mindset that says ‘I know what the kids need and I’m going to help them become better players.’ He knows what he’s doing.” If you would like to get involved with a hockey league or program at the Center, feel free to give Pederson a call on his cell phone at 719-439-3243.

Mountain of the Sun features bicycle stage Festival set for June 29 at Aspen Valley Ranch By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com A stage powered by bicycles, a band risen from the ashes of a horrific car crash and the sound of music wafting through a meadow, Mountain of the Sun Music Festival excites and inspires. Held June 29 at Aspen Valley Ranch in Woodland Park, the festival is sponsored by Pikes Peak Community Foundation, which owns the property. “Part of our plan is to make Aspen Valley Ranch into a center for the arts, education, exploration and discovery,” said Michael Hannigan, founder and executive director of the foundation. “We want the ranch to be a place where people gather to listen to music and learn life skills such as woodworking.” In its third year, the festival is a hotbed of innovation — the Mobile Music Project, for instance. Along with listening to music, the audience will no doubt be wowed by the MMP, a stage powered by musicians providing the fuel for the bicycles as well as the rhythm. Funded and sponsored by the foundation, the project was initiated by Brendan Hannigan and his band, Lazarus Blehm, Taylor Weimer and The Black Flamingos. A second high note is the musical launch of the festival at 9 a.m. with a performance by Jorden Smith and his band, A Positive Note. “Jorden was in a terrible car crash and suffered traumatic brain injury,” Hannigan said. As a result of the crash and subsequent emotional and physical challenges, Smith

New superintendent installed By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com
The dedication of the Visitors Center at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument was a celebration of the park’s significance to the entire 401-unit sysvices, tem. “The National Park Service is one of America’s best ideas, right Cenup there with baseball and jazz west music,” said Laura Joss, deputy dy to regional director. “The Florissant y the Fossil Beds is one of the great moa.m. saics that capture the essence of the American experience and history as a unit of the National Park system.” Along with the history, however, the center is a powerful reminder of the Earth’s limited resources and the importance of sustainability. “Buildings play a critical role in the visitor experience and the operation of our parks,” Joss said. “Aware of our own place in history, the challenges of our own time, these buildings are built to the highest standards of sustainability. The center has achieved
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) gold certification.” In a strikingly-beautiful Colorado morning, a contrast to the fires burning about 40 miles away in Black Forest, the ceremony highlighted the vitality of fossils from 34 million years ago. “Renowned for its abundant and exceptionally-preserved shale fossils, the Monument is simply magnificent and that’s why the nation saw fit to preserve its resources,” said David Harrington, retired NPS budget officer who is credited with helping to secure funding for the center. “For someone like me who, for a long time knew this project from afar, as a line on a list, many lists, many years, this moment is affirmation that some decisions mean more than you can even imagine.” Harrington noted the emotions apparent that day. “As I walked around the park and toured the `paleo’ center, what was obvious was the sheer joy of the staff, the volunteers, interns and the Friends (of the Fossil Beds) that this had come to pass,” he said. “It is indeed a joy of exceptional educators fulfilling their intended

‘The first time I came here, I was eight years old and the park ignited my lifelong interest in learning more about fossils, rocks and the mysteries of the Earth.’ Michelle Wheatley, superintendent calling.” Along with its educational contribution, the Monument is distinguished by the Post to Park program that helps veterans combat the transition from military to civilian workforce, said Connie Rudd, superintendent of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.
INSTALLATION OF THE NEW SUPERINTEDENT
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate the Visitors Center, Laura Joss, NPS deputy regional director, introduced and installed Michelle Wheatley as the Monument’s new superintendent.
“Michelle is now a caretaker for the National Park and ambassador for the American people,” Joss said. Wheatley, who has been with the NPS for 15 years, was chief of interpretation, visitors’ services and education at Colorado National Monument; acting superintendent at Grant-Kohrs Ranch Historic Site and Yellowstone National Park in Montana and worked at Rocky Mountain National Park. Wheatley addressed the audience in the amphitheater near the trio of petrified stumps. “The lands at the National Park Service encompass everything
from the physical sciences to the humanities. They contain not only all manner of natural processes of living things but hold places that are sacred to us as people. They tell the American story that no textbook can equal, represent the most powerful educational resources in the country. “Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument serves as an exceptional outdoor learning center and research laboratory. The fossils don’t tell us the reasons for today’s warming climate but they do illustrate how plants and animals respond to changing conditions and help us to understand why some go extinct and others survive.” For Wheatley, heading up the national park brings back memories. “The first time I came here, I was eight years old and the park ignited my lifelong interest in learning more about fossils, rocks and the mysteries of the Earth,” she said. “I look forward to getting to know all of you and building upon future discoveries these fossils will lead us towards and spark a fire of passion for the outdoors and national parks, in people of all ages. Thank you.”

Posusta leads STC economic development By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com As the new director of the Southern Teller County Economic Development Coalition, John Posusta is focused on attracting business to Cripple Creek and Victor. In Cripple Creek, a town known more for gaming than economic development, a town with a remote location, Posusta has immediate goals. “Realistically, though, I think I have a better chance of helping folks who are already here,” he said. After only a few weeks on the job, Posusta has become a familiar figure around Teller County as well as in Colorado Springs. “I’m marketing Cripple Creek to let people know there are things up here besides the mine and the casinos,” he said. “I really look at this as a team effort.” Some of the focus will be on expanding tourism and battling inaccurate perceptions about the
possibilities of doing business in southern Teller County. “There is potential here,” he said. “We are a little bit isolated but at the same time, that’s what makes this area unique.” As other communities in Colorado have sacrificed their historical heritage, Cripple Creek, on the other hand, has maintained its ties to the past, particularly, by preserving its turn-of-the-century architecture. Posusta’s marketing approach includes highlighting the city’s high altitude as the ideal training spot for athletes. “We have biking trails and I’d like to think we could get some of the Olympic athletes up here,” he said. The city of Victor already contributes training facilities with a summer soccer camp as well as the recent expansion of the fields at the Gold Bowl. “Victor now has a regulation-size field for soccer and rugby, for instance,” he said. Posusta’s experience includes consulting for an economic development coalition in Atlanta,
Ga. “I set up organizations to raise money,” he said. When the economy tanked in 2008, Posusta moved to Cripple Creek and learned how to deal craps at several casinos in town. “I never thought I’d be doing that, had never even played the game before,” he said. Capitalizing on his marketing degree, Posusta is hatching plans to stage an event based on the root-beer float. “The rootbeer float was initiated in Cripple Creek,” he said. For now, to put the spotlight on the coalition, Posusta is hosting a public meeting to talk about wildfire preparedness and mitigation strategies from 4:30 to 5:30 pm. June 20 at the Gold Bar Theater in Cripple Creek. “We want to talk about what his region can do should the worst happen to us,” he said. “And I thought hosting it at the theater would be a way to promote one of our local businesses.” To contact Posusta, call 6893584 ex. 132 or email ccvedc@gamail.com.
John Posusta has been named executive director of the Southern Teller County Economic Development Coalition. Posusta’s office is at the Aspen Mine Center in Cripple Creek. Photo by Courtesy photo
